Every year on 27 January, the world marks Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD). On our website you’ll find all of the resources, information and advice you need to participate in HMD. Holocaust Memorial Day provides an opportunity for everyone to learn lessons from the Holocaust, Nazi persecution and subsequent genocides and apply them to the present day to create a safer, better future. On HMD we share the memory of the millions who have been murdered in the Holocaust and subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur in order to challenge hatred and persecution in the UK today. The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust (HMDT) is a charity which works to raise awareness of HMD. You can find out more about what we do on our website. HMD has taken place in the UK since 2001, and you can find out about how we came into being in our timeline. HMDT was established in May 2005 and during our existence the number of activities held for HMD has grown by over 350%. Our external evaluation following HMD 2012 showed that 96% of respondents would rate their activity a success, mirroring the findings of HMD 2011.
